      Caroline Harris, daughter of Charles Harris, of Sandy Cove, by his wife Abigail ____, was b. about 1834 (aged 37 in 1871, 46 in 1881, 56 in 1891) in Nova Scotia, still alive in 1901. She m. probably in late 1856 at Sandy Cove,[302] John William Outhouse, b. 1832-33 (aged 38 in 1871, 48 in 1881, 57 in 1891), d. 1891-1901. He is called a master mariner in the birth record of their daughter Edith (1867), a mariner in that of their son Frederick (1869), and a seaman in that of their daughter Waita (1872); all three records give the parents' place of residence as Petite Passage, and supply the mother's maiden surname. A John B. Outhouse was one of the signers of the 1875 petition, mentioned above, to restore Israel Blackford as ferryman on the East Side of Petit Passage, Digby Co. The name Outhouse was very common there, and he was perhaps a son of the widower Simon Outhouse, aged 73, who is found in an adjacent household. John and Caroline Outhouse are enumerated in the 1871 census of Petite Passage, in which he is called a fisherman, and the family's religion is given as Baptist. They had however moved to Tiverton, Digby Co., by 1881, when the census again calls John Outhouse a fisherman, and gives the family's religion as Baptist.[303] They are also listed in the 1891 census when her widowed mother was a member of their household. Between 1891 the family removed to Tiverton, Digby Co., where Caroline appears as a widow in the household of her son Frederick in 1901.[304] The name Outhouse was also common at Tiverton; in 1901 persons of this name constituted 152 of the 542 persons in the town (fully 28% of the population).
